Your child’s first communion is one of the most sacred and
solemn occasions in a Roman Catholic's life, thus it calls for great
celebration. The communion dress is part of this very special moment in a young
girl's life.
Your child, for the first time, will be receiving the body
and blood of Jesus Christ.
That is why
preparing for her wardrobe should be taken into consideration. Her first
communion dress and headpiece can help her feel very special and create
memories for a life time. Below are tips for you when purchasing her first
communion dress.
1. 1.
This is a holy event
and therefore your daughter should dress appropriately. Modesty is the key you should pick a communion dress that is very modest. Simplicity is also perfect.
2. 2. Remember that your
daughter is still at a young age, therefore dress within her age. This will
also leave a LOT of room for self-expression.
3. White is almost
always worn for First Communion. It symbolizes purity and cleanliness.
4. There is usually a dress code. Always check
with your Director for their rules - and follow them. Some locations prefer tea
length Communion dress; others prefer floor length, while others leave it up to
you.
5. Trendy styles
like sleeveless Communion dresses are becoming more and more popular in many
locations. However you have to take into account when and where her Communion
will take place. Take into consideration
the climate of the location. If it will be very cool on her day, you are going
to want her to either have sleeves on her dress or add a jacket. Many parishes
will still prefer that you opt for a dress with sleeves.
